Remind us again why manicure trends get all the airtime? Nail Priere, a salon in South Korea, is helping to change that with its cult “powder pedicure.”
It’s very rare our feet get to be the main character—just compare the 40.9 million Tiktok posts on #nails with the 2.1 million posts dedicated strictly to pedicures—but given we only have a limited amount of sandal season left, we reckon our toes deserve the same attention our manicures usually get.
Helping to reset the balance, just one of Nail Priere’s posts on their powder pedicure has accumulated over 4.1 million likes, 4.3k comments (all fan-girling, asking for details, or saving for future appointments), and 40.5k reposts. It’s exactly the PR pedicures needed in their corner, and it’s convinced us to make our feet more of a focus going forward.

What is a powder pedicure?
Named because of the powder chrome topcoat applied on top, this is essentially a glazed pedicure. But as with all classics, the fascination isn’t in the idea, it’s all down to the execution.
Careful attention is paid to prepping, buffing, cuticles and nail shape, before polish is painstakingly applied to toes. The salon’s most popular look is their “powder white” pedicure—a very pale milky white-pink.
